Anything aspirating into the lungs is bad...acid, food, water, etc. Treatment for reflux is usually acid blockers. But that doesn't stop the aspiration risk; just reduces the acid content.
Do you have heartburn? Have you had problems with aspiration?

Thank you. I am a bit anxious because of my breathing problems.
I have heartburn. I am not sure if I have aspiration. I asked the radiologist if there was any sign of aspiration in my chest ct scan and said no. Well, I asked because i read that aspiration can be seen in the scan.
I wonder if the reflux could register in the equipment if on that day my stomach is "calm", meaning that I don't have symptoms of hurtburn, bloating? It happens that one day I don't have symptoms and on the next day the symptoms are bad.
If I have indeed some problems, i hope i'd be symptomatic to show in the machine.
Thank you.
